Liens that survive

Tax foreclosure deed is subject to post-sale redemption rights. HOA/POA liens can survive if not properly joined; federal tax liens survive. Always search deed records before bidding.

Quiet title

Not legally mandatory, but title companies generally require quiet title after redemption expires because of redemption rights and possible un-joined lienholders.

Verify before you bid

This record was compiled from the published sale list. Parcels are pulled, redeemed, and re-priced up to the moment of sale. Confirm the lot is still in the sale, and confirm the opening bid, directly with the county.

Flat penalty

$2,628

Window

730 days

A 25% flat penalty applies if the owner redeems. It is a penalty, not annual interest — the rate does not change with how early they redeem.

homestead and agricultural-use property (2 years); all other property is 180 days

Quoted elsewhere as 51% annualised — true only if they redeem on the last possible day and you immediately redeploy the capital. Treat the flat penalty as the real number.

Before you bid

Rehab is assumed to be $0. You cannot inspect these properties before bidding — budget for the worst plausible condition.
Surviving liens assumed $0. The 180-day vs 2-year window turns on the property's use at the time of sale, which the sale list does not state — treat any homestead-looking residential parcel as potentially 2-year.
The opening bid of $13,476.29 is already above your ceiling of $10,511.6.
